26
Q

incomplete flower

A

<4 floral organs

27
Q

pollination

A

transfer of pollen from anthers to stigma; wind, water, animals

28
Q

pollination syndrome

A

characters developed by plants related to pollinators

29
Q

coevolution

A

joint evolution of two or more interacting species in response to selection imposed by each other; plants and pollinators

30
Q

pollen grain

A

(n) microspore divided into generative cell, tube cell, and spore wall

31
Q

microspore

A

(n) make pollen, derived from microsporocytes

32
Q

microsporocyte

A

(2n) each make 4 microspore

33
Q

microsporangia

A

pollen sacs; 4 per anther

34
Q

ovary

A

ovules with megasporangium

35
Q

megaspore

A

(n) of the 4 megaspores made by the megasporocyte, 1 survives; nucleus divides 3x creating 8 nuclei

36
Q

megasporocyte

A

(2n) makes 4 megapores

37
Q

8 nuclei of megaspore

A

3: micropyle- egg + 2 synergids
3: antipodal cells- other end of the ovule from micropyle
2: polar nuclei (without membrane)

38
Q

double fertilization

A

pollen grain contacts stigma, tube cell forms a pollen tubes that grows down the style. generative cell divides into two sperm: 1 fertilizes the egg (zygote 2n), 1 fertilizes the polar nuclei (endosperm 3n)

39
Q

benefit of double fertilization to parent

A

doesn’t have to waste nutrients on unfertilized eggs

40
Q

benefit of double fertilization to seed

A

provides endosperm of nutrients

41
Q

embryonic development

A

occurs in the seed; zygote becomes embryo, asymmetrical division of basal cell and terminal cell: larger basal cell becomes suspensor and smaller terminal cell becomes proembryo, cotyledons develop

42
Q

hypotcotyl

A

eudicot cotyledon; lower part connects to radicle (embryonic root)

43
Q

epicotyl

A

eudicot cotyledon; upper part, immature roots (embryonic shoot)

44
Q

scutellum

A

cotyledon of monocots

45
Q

coleoptile

A

sheath surrounding embryonic shoot of monocot

46
Q

coleorhiza

A

protects embryonic root of monocots

47
Q

last stage of seed development

A

seed ejects most of its water and closes the micropyle, allowing it to remain dormant until ideal conditions

48
Q

imbibition

A

uptake of water that begins germination; expansion causes seed coat to rupture

49
Q

eudicot germination

A

radical emerges first, followed by the hypocotyl, then epicotyl

50
Q

monocot germination

A

coleoptile protects shoot and leads the way up

51
Q

fruit development

A

simultaneous with seed; triggered by double fertilization

52
Q

pericarp

A

developed ovary wall

53
Q

simple fruit

A

single carpel

54
Q

aggregate frut

A

multiple carpels of one flower

55
Q

multiple fruit

A

multiple flowers

56
Q

accessory fruit

A

other flower parts incorporated into fruit

57
Q

abiotic dispersal

A

wind and water

58
Q

biotic dispersal

59
Q

crossbreeding

A

favorable traits crossed between wild type and domestic variety

60
Q

GMO

A

genetically modified organisms; natural or intentional

61
Q

CRISPR

A

technology used to directly transfer genes of plants

62
Q

biofortification

A

improve the nutritional quality of plants

63
Q

biofuel

A

fuels derived from living biomass
